Pensacola State College is bringing Ai-Da, billed as the world’s first ultra-realistic humanoid robot artist, to the Saenger as part of the 2026 Foo Foo Festival. On stage, Ai-Da will create artwork live, followed by a panel of experts in artificial intelligence and emerging technology.
The Saenger evening opens a multi-day program. It also includes an exhibition of Ai-Da’s work at PSC’s Anna Lamar Switzer Center for the Visual Arts, a free reception on the PSC campus and a family-friendly robotics event at Pensacola MESS Hall. Check PSC and the Saenger for those dates.
Check before you cross the bridge: The Saenger Theatre’s event page showed this date as scheduled when we checked on October 16, 2026, one week after Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin on October 9. Recovery is still under way around Pensacola Bay, so confirm with the organizer and check FL511 for road conditions before you go.
